On the 3rd day of Christmas, a Manager said to me...

“On the 3rd day of Christmas a Manager said to me…
HOW DO I GIVE FEEDBACK?”

🌟(Sing along to the 12 days of Christmas song!)🌟
…
(2nd ) Who are my team?
(1st ) and… I don’t know what’s expected of me!”

THE CHALLENGE
The biggest challenge here is the perception of what feedback is and is not! (and avoiding the feedback sandwich like the plague!)

THE SOLUTION
The best advice I can offer in this short space is to consider your purpose and context! 
 ⛄️  Set the context before you start to enable the other person to understand what it relates to
 ⛄️  Be specific (using vague language like ‘that was great’ or ‘You shouldn’t done that’ are not going to help anyone
 ⛄️  Be very clear on why you want to change or continue


🎄Keep a look out for further days of Christmas to help develop Manager skills! 🎄
